"Mmm... come here..."
At the sound of her voice, an image involuntarily surfaced in his mind—this woman undressing and bathing.
This was Genjutsu.
Shiki Uzumaki's heart jolted. His greatest weakness had always been Genjutsu.
Even though he knew that this seductive scene before him hid endless killing intent, Shiki still couldn't summon the will to resist at all. His body no longer felt like his own.
No matter how hard he tried to stimulate himself, his mind kept growing more and more hazy.
If it weren't for having already opened the second of the Eight Gates—the Healing Gate—his chakra flow wouldn't have been much faster than that of an ordinary ninja. Otherwise, Shiki felt he wouldn't even have the opportunity to think right now.
Even so, his chakra flow continued to slow down...
No, absolutely cannot fall asleep.
Shiki wanted to hurt himself—to use pain to stay awake. But with his current powerless state, how could he even harm himself?
His weakening chakra also wasn't sufficient to break through the third gate—the Life Gate.
Could it be that he had still been too careless?
Internally horrified, as these thoughts formed, suddenly he sensed a chill on his neck. A weapon had already pressed against it. [To Be Continued]
Chapter 235 - Breaking the Genjutsu
Could he really trip over his own feet and crash here?
The price for a mistake—death. That was a cost he definitely couldn't afford.
Luckily, he could still move slightly.
Shiki could already feel a tingling sensation of pain coming from his neck.
Hard to imagine, but his opponent might have realized that intense pain could help him escape the illusion.
Therefore, her attack was deliberately gentle, as if he'd die peacefully within this sensual paradise.
"Hehe, you're so cute, little boy. Your older sister almost hates to kill you."
Warm breath blew into his ear; the sensual voice made Shiki's heart skip a beat.
At this rate, there truly wouldn't be any path left for survival.
Faster... faster...
With great effort, Shiki finally bit his tongue hard enough to feel pain.
"Young man, your blood seems delicious. But why is it flowing so slowly?"
Her voice sounded soft and inviting, like warm spring winds causing his heart to stir with desire.
Yet the blood dripping from the kunai in her delicate fingers shattered this beautiful illusion.
Right now, however, Shiki's face still wore an expression of obvious enjoyment.
As if completely oblivious to everything happening around him.
The woman laughed more cheerfully, her expression dazzlingly beautiful. Every time someone died under her Genjutsu, she always looked this happy.
Because she loved watching people die without resisting—just like the dolls she used to manipulate as a child.
Blood flowed down the kunai, staining her hands. With just a bit more force, this child's life would be gone forever.
But she couldn't figure out why the boy's neck was so strong, or perhaps it was simply because she lacked physical strength—after all, she only knew Genjutsu.
This process was much slower now.
Still, she wasn't worried. There was a special poison called "Drunken Spring" applied to her kunai.
While not particularly toxic, its effects were nevertheless astonishing. This poison temporarily dulled one's perception of pain and created a sensation of romantic arousal.
Therefore, there was no way he could break free from this Genjutsu through pain.
"Just go to the underworld like this, filled with longing for me."
The woman sighed again. The blood flowed faster and faster, indicating the wound had grown deeper.
"Haha, such an ungrateful brat actually dared to ask me to be his subordinate?"
Duy Ni sat in his seat, wearing a wild grin on his face. His black samurai robe trembled along with his laughter.
He hadn't expected things to go this smoothly. Originally, he thought that a ninja from Konoha who could carry out missions alone would generally possess well-rounded experience.
Someone like that wouldn't just fall into Genjutsu so easily.
Yet this time, everything was surprisingly simple. Aside from possessing strong taijutsu, the kid didn't seem to have any other advantages.
The two others in the room saw that the woman had succeeded and chose not to intervene further.
Because they both understood something clearly—if they interfered, it might actually give the red-haired brat a chance to break free through pain.
That was a scenario none of them wished to see.
"What an ignorant and inexperienced child. Speaking of which, boss was being too cautious after all."
"Yeah, boss is always cautious, but I personally think that's not a bad thing at all."
Duy Ni did not get angry at his subordinates' remarks. Instead, he nodded in agreement with their views.
He never engaged in risky activities unless cornered.
What truly pleased him was killing enemies one by one using strategy from unseen corners.
But this certainly didn't mean his strength was weak—after all, having numerous powerful subordinates could not rely purely on tactics in a world dominated by individual martial prowess.
"I never thought I still underestimated you scum."
Suddenly, a cold voice filled with killing intent rang out, making everyone shudder inwardly.
It felt as if they had awakened a monster that should never have been disturbed. Intense killing intent surrounded every person inside the house.
Even the woman gripping the poisoned kunai froze mid-action.
